DES MOINES, Iowa – The Concordia-St. Paul men's and women's track and field teams wrapped up competition at a pair of meets over the weekend, sending athletes to the 115^th annual Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa while also competing at the Rider/Bolstorff Invite hosted by Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn.

The Rider/Bolstorff Invitational was a scored meet, with the CSP women finishing seventh out of 21 teams while the men finished sixth out of 14 teams.

For the Golden Bear women, the weekend was highlighted by the sprint medley relay squad of Karlina Zimmerman, Chidera Osuoha, Destiny Mattingly, and Nyadio Chan who finished in 4:08.57 to break the school record and finish fourth at the Drake Relays.

Emmett Faltesek also found success in Iowa, clocking a new personal best time of 3:48.12 in the 1500-meter run to finish third. That time was an NCAA provisional qualifier that ranks second in the NSIC and 49^th in Division II this season.

In St. Paul, freshman thrower Bernie Barnhardt placed well in multiple events as she finished first in the shot put and discus throw while placing third in the hammer throw. Her shot put distance of 12.72 meters (41' 8.75") was a new personal record.
